iPad 64GB keeps randomly crashing?

[MoonlitSonata]

This has been going on with the iPad 1 since the IOS 5.1 upgrade. I spoke with apple tech and was told to upgrade to the iPad 2...because there will be no patch to correct it. Very disappointed. Looking into the Samsung Galaxy. Everyone I know who has it..love it. I've had nothing but trouble with my 4th Generation iPod, this iPad 1...husband asked me if I wanted the mini or iPad 2 for Christmas, told him no..time to move on from apple products. Very disappointed dde12

Is it really that surprising that the iPad 1 is old tech now?

No, not really Moonlit. That's probably one of the reason's why Apple stock dropped so sharply in Oct. people are getting smart to the games now being conducted by apple to force them to buy something they can't afford or to go without an upgrade. Such as what is happening with my IPad 1....can't get the latest upgrade. (IOS 6).

So apple is offering you a refurb, usable product, and yet you said no? So were they supposed to give you a new one(like they had any new 1st gens left anymore?) or a new new one because your several years old device isn't working? Sorry but with no other company or electronic tech device would you expect that. I think people expect way too much from Apple because they tend to do so much more than anybody else does. I had a Sony TV that the tube went out of at literally day 91 of ownership. Would the nice people at Sony give me a new tv? Nope. Did they even offer to cover the cost of repair? Nope. Sorry, our warranty is 90 days, plain & simple, our obligation to you ends at 90 days even though one should reasonably expect a tv to last more than 90 days at a time(would we really buy a new tv every 3 months on a regular basis??!!)
If in 2 years, my iPad 3 dies and apple offers me a refurb working one, you bet I will take it! Or if they offer me a discount on a new one, you betcha. I can't get that with any other thing I buy, so I think that's pretty dang sweet!
And what other non working device can you still sell on ebay for $100-$150, 3 years after it's manufacture? Apple stuff, that's what.
Not trying to hassle you OP, just saying that we hold Apple to a higher standard and I think we need to take a step back & chill.

Apple in not playing any "games"with it's customers to force then to upgrade or be left behind. It's inherent in the electronics industry that older items become outdated and at some point, no longer upgradable. Exactly the same thing happens to the products produced by every other electronics manufacturer. You don't become the most profitable company ever by playing "games" with your customers.
